CARRERAS, María Paula; BELLO, Paula  and  STOCKL, Cynthia María Torres. Teachers´ work and narrative: the dimensions of the being. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.66, pp.1185-1204.  Epub Oct 01, 2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.20.066.ds11.

Teachers´ Internal Being is defined according to four general dimensions that interact among them like concentric layers, each having a different dynamic. The Ontological Being, the Ethical Being, the Pragmatic Being, and the Political Being, combine among each other and help establish limits to the essence of the teachers´ work phenomenon. Such are the conclusions generated by a phenomenological study, in which the main objective was the description, analysis and interpretation of Latin-American teachers´ experiences and reflections about their daily lives and work. A total of 15 teachers, ten from Northern Argentina and five from Southern Mexico, wrote letters and exchanged them. This corpus was analyzed by means of the Colaizzi Methods (1978). The analysis resulted in 245 significant statements extracted from the first readings, 239 formulated meanings, 56 thematic clusters and 17 emergent themes that become into the four theoretical categories that describe the essence of the phenomenon.

Keywords : Teachers´ Work; Narratives; Dimensions of the Being (teachers).
